I can tell you from firsthand recent experience, Russia has psychologically prepared the citizens of the country for war against the West, if that is what’s needed.
The Russian people do not want war but trust me – they are a hardened nation filled with people who are used to hardship in comparative terms to Americans and Europeans. Their military bases are full of trainees, and the streets have as many young men in fatigues as they do business attire.
The roads and highways are full of not-so-subtle billboards preparing the nation. There are posters on the streets and in the subway stations, and flyers in almost every business, shop, office and retail location preparing the citizens of Russia. There is also a very cold and deliberate tone in all of the expressed government information about preparation. In short, they’re ready.
POLITICO – Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened to deploy missiles within striking distance of the West should the U.S. move forward with its missile deployment in Germany.
Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened a tit-for-tat response should Washington deploy long-range missiles in Germany, saying Moscow would answer by placing similar missiles within striking distance of the West.
Washington and Berlin announced earlier this month that the U.S. will deploy the arms in Germany starting in 2026, along with Tomahawk cruise missiles and developmental hypersonic weapons. The missiles “have significantly longer range than current land-based fires in Europe,” the White House said in a statement.
The move is meant to show the U.S.’s commitment to NATO and its European allies.
In a speech on Sunday to mark Russian navy day, Putin accused the U.S. of escalating tensions, saying “we will take mirror measures to deploy, taking into account the actions of the United States, its satellites in Europe and in other regions of the world,” Reuters reported.
The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty — signed in 1987 — banned ground-based missiles with a range of more than 500 kilometers. The U.S. withdrew from the treaty in 2019, citing Moscow’s development of the 9M729 ground-launched cruise missile, known in NATO circles as the SSC-8. (Read More)
Putin warns of mirror response to US missile deployment in Germany

RUSSIA TODAY – Russia will consider itself free from a moratorium on the deployment of medium and shorter-range missiles if the US places missiles in Germany, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said in an address to sailors at the Navy Day parade in St. Petersburg.
Earlier this month, the US and Germany announced plans to deploy long-range precision missile systems in Europe. According to a joint US-German press release dated July 10, the US “will begin episodic deployments of the long-range fires capabilities of its Multi-Domain Task Force in Germany in 2026.”
Putin called this announcement “noteworthy,” as such a deployment will put important Russian state and military facilities, administrative and industrial centers, as well as defense infrastructure within the reach of the weapons. He noted that the flight time of such missiles to targets on Russian territory would be about ten minutes, and that they could also be equipped with nuclear warheads.
“This situation is reminiscent of the events of the Cold War related to the deployment of American medium-range missiles in Europe,” Putin stated. He said that while Russia has long left the Cold War in the past, the US “did not reciprocate.” The president warned that if the US goes through with the missile deployment plan, Russia will respond accordingly.

I know exactly where that speech was given, and I have seen the naval combat training center therein.
Vladimir Putin is not bluffing.
Are we the baddies?
For a long time I think.
If only we could see ourselves as others (in the world) see us…
Robbie Burns?
“ the greatest gift that God can give you is to see yourself as others see you”
Or something close to that..
U.S. Military bases in dozens of countries ( 😏)
The Scottish town I was born in had two U.S bases within a 15-20 minute drive of the town.

Indeed it is, Dekester.
With the appropriate title “Ode to a Louse”, a reflection on human vanity and hubris.
As relevant today as then.
👍
Maybe more so, given the West’s current penchant for evil and stupidity, and our long-term exclusion of God from society! Fools!
“O, wad Power the giftie gie us, to see oursels as others see us!”
(Read it as if Sean Connery is speaking 😉)
My mother used to quote this often, Mom. Even at a very young age it made a huge impression on me.
“Coincidentally” (Funny how God works like that, isn’t it?) I was just thinking about this phrase earlier today…regarding a much loved family member who simply does not believe that people admire him, respect him, and really enjoy spending time with him. I know it’s not the intent of the author but I do think it works both ways…sometimes, the Enemy tells us so many lies about ourselves so that we cannot “see oursels as others see us!”
What a shame, sis, for him to think so little of himself. Which made me think of this admonition…do not hide your light under a bushel. I hope one day he’ll come to know how much his attractive attributes are appreciated. Rare, from what we all are looking at these days.
Thank you for your encouraging words…all I can do is continue to pray and speak truth. And really, isn’t that the best that any of us can do?!!
Powerful both. Yes..that really is all we can do.
“He’s deid “ 😉
No one seemed to mind when our soldiers were bleeding and dying for their safety.
Yes
Thank you
Except, as we are learning, andvits a MOST painful lesson that we WISH wasn’t so,…too often it wasn’t for others safety, and it sure as hell wasn’t for OUR safety, it was for what, ……Corporate profits?
What the HELL did we accomplish in Viet Nam?
Afganistan, Iraq x 2, Syria, Lybia, Somalia, etc.?
Was ANY of what we BELIEVED,….TRUE? Was it real, or was it memorex?
And now the forces of Satan are trying to push us inexhorably into a War with Russia, for WHAT?
The cynicism, the arrogance and hubris, of these psychpaths capitalising on those who’s only weakness is a genuine desire to serve boils my blood.
Go to a VA hospital and see what we accomplished.
🙏
Dekester it is worse than many realize.
750 bases in 80 countries.

Thank you!
I lived in Ayr as a child, dad was stationed at RAF Prestwick.
Have we becoming, or are now, the….
great Satan?
yes
I have heard the term
Empire of Lies
to describe my country 🇺🇸🇺🇸
so many times I have
lost count.
Sad.
Much of the world saw this up close in 2020.
And painful.
Andre at the now defunct but much missed Saker site labeled the United States “The Empire of Hate and Lies”.
I’ve added a few since he did so….
The Empire of Hate, Lies, Wars, Destruction, and Death.
I’m adding another since 2020…Genocide (bioweapon and who knows? Bioweapons?)
Harsh?
Not from where I’m sitting.
Not harsh, not pretending, Bets. Sadly, I can honestly see the sacrilege at the Paris olympics happening here.
It is shoved in our faces daily, Mims. In stores in schools, at workplaces…and yes, in churches.
The moral debasement of this nation rivals no other country.
I think the Olympic,Superbowl, Grammys,
Emmy award shows demonstrate that those
who would rule us, are.
Let’s not be guilty by association.
Something I’ve been thinking about. A lot.
Even unto its own citizens…and with the same deliberate monstrous inhumanity, malicious targeting, and cruelty.
Our illegitimate government certainly is!
Most of the West is blinded by hatred. If only we would do the right thing…
If only others in the World could seevus the wayvwe have seen ourselves for many years.
If only our bahavior gave others reason to see us the way we have seen ourselves.
I mean, if we’re gonne “If only”, ..might as well go for the big prize,…right?
Or as God does.
Self has always been the barrier to that I’ve always thought, Annie.
We are our own worst enemy.
Get thee behind me Satan , thou art a stumbling block to me.
We behave as if we will not die and pursue the prizes of ego.
We were given a template for peace and fulfillment but never choose that over material comfort.
And so it continues but now many of us are awake.
God has already written the history of this time we can only witness it and have faith in Him.
Gwen, when I wrote that, I had not yet visited our Open Thread (with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier) this morning where there is a devotional which addresses self far better than I ever could. I am not a believer in coincidences. I think you will appreciate it.
We fight more fiercely when we can see the enemy in full view, as we most assuredly have these past few years. Heretofore, he was in hiding, so ugly is he in his godliness. We have been given a chance for a reprieve through serious, honest, unflinching retro- and introspection. Not just of the manifest evil which strolls unimpeded across this earth, but of ourselves. It is a somber and sobering path through unbearable shame to humility..
As I read your reply, this is what came instantly to my mind and heart…
“We have erred and strayed from Thy ways like lost sheep; and there is no health in us.”
For the sake of our souls and for those who follow us into an unknown chaotic world, all must admit it in hopes of His mercies. Yes, the Victory is already won. But as you say, so did Charles Spurgeon whose words I placed on a thread yesterday.
“To trust God in the light is nothing, but in the dark – that is faith.”
And it is in the dark as where His light shines brightest…and therefore a gift to be able to discern the horrendous exposed evil. Not everyone can. We hold on to our faith. That He is leading us through for His purposes which at times are unfathomable to us.
(I have just realized that in answering you, I am in truth talking to myself….thank you for that. Much needed 🙏🏻)
I wish our oligarchs could achieve even that comedy level of self awareness. The mental quality of our western elites is probably on par with the end of the Roman Empire’s.
Boy howdy
The Oligarch’s don’t care about what others think or feel. They are psychopaths.
Probably a WHOLE lot worse than the elites in the Roman empire, and not as intelligent!
Remember the kerfuffle when Trump said America was no angel in the past.
” UGLY AMERICANS ” Is What a YOUNG AND DUMB ( IMMATURE ) Tourist was Told, when Him and His Canadian Fiancee went to Europe in 1997…
She of Course COULD Speak SOME Quebec French, But He was from CALI and EXPECTED the French, Dutch, Germans and Danes to SPEAK ENGLISH !
VERY RUDE of YOU – is What i TOLD Him.
So, YES, HUBRIS is the TERM to Be USED i BELIEVE – we ARE PAST ” the occupying power ”
i Believe
English is today what common Greek was at the time of Christ, the universal language spoken everywhere in the civilized world. A Japanese pilot flying an airplane for ITA (Italian) landing at Dubai International, gets his landing instructions in English, as does every other international flight everywhere in the world. Get with the program.
No, the government is, and anyone following their murderous doctrine.
I have tried for many years to remove myself from the spoils of modern slavery, and war. It isn’t easy. Educated purchases can help you sleep easier at night. I’ll never own a solar panel, or electric car, and all of my tech is very old.
If we all started taking care of ourselves and moving off the system, it would help. They can’t kill people for minerals, if we refuse to use the objects made with them. I’m not perfect, but I try.
NO. WE are not the baddies. The evil cabal of nameless, faceless, stateless men who run Western countries from the shadows are the baddies, and they are orchestrating nothing less than a full-on, take-it-all-down final assault on Christianity.
Russia is a Christian country, even thought it is not Western.
The West is Christian.
Pit Russia and The West against each other by means of mounting tit-for-tat provocations and responses, and they will ultimately destroy each other ands thereby destroy Christianity as a force in the world. THAT is the plan, and you don’t need to be Sherlock Holmes to put the pieces together and form that deduction. At least they say they won’t start deploying until 2016. President Trump will have killed that idea by then.
How convenient Trapper, your defense of the largest exporter of terror ever known to mankind.
So when the hand says to the foot, how did we get here, and the foot replies, the head brought us to this, no one in the body takes responsibility, right?
The citizens of this nation capitulated to the comforts of an easy life in return for not asking what the cost was going to be. And in truth, we all had some vague sense of what was going on but kept our mouths shut as long as our 401’s continued to grow.
And lastly, no war conjured by man will “destroy Christianity”. Two thousand twenty four years has proven that to be an indisputable fact.
The only thing you said I agree with is a President Trump will step on this idea with both feet post haste.
Doug, you may not believe it, but we were warned back in AD 1917—Fatima, Portugal.
This is so true, and if only people could just hold to the very heart of themselves, that you can only ever sit on one chair. Why break your back for the cash, or to be in debt, and slave labor in another country who makes it, to buy a whole slew of what you can never sit on.
The American dream has become a nightmare. Needs and wants have become fk’d up!
Who are the “Baddies”? Stew Peters among many others is homing/honing in who they are. Why beat around the bush. Come on folks. The “West” is caught up in a *bloodfued that has been going on for over 2000 years and 1,200 years when one adds the Khazar Jews to the mix. Jesus himself called out and named the “Baddies”. Christianity is in their sights. The main problem as TJ sees it, is many Christians worship the NT Christ 2nd, but worship the OT Jews first. Trapper is getting close. Except the baddies are not nameless nor faceless. We see their ugly mugs and their names every single day. Some like Sores and son among many others do their open for all to see dirty work. It is not known if Trump can extract the West from the coils of this international Banking/money monster.
-* Look up bloodfeud in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. A bloodfeud is a feud, usually between families, with a cycle of retaliatory violence.
Thomas Massie has said the “quiet part” out loud, we have been usurped by the “money changers” and the citizenry is oblivious. Every member of Congress on the GOPe side has an AIPAC handler? Suddenly it’s okay for the killing of innocent woman and children? When did we green light that? That’s a bridge too far for everyone, yet, here we are and you never hear of it, why? Because the very “same people” control the MEDIA, our politicians, our courts, our CDC, our FDA, our financial system, etc……..Start thinking about it, you’ll see it for what it is. Our “LORD” and Savior Jesus turned over the “money changers” tables in the TEMPLE, nothing has changed, the EVIL is real, and they’ll start WWIII and kill half the planet if allowed…….Yes, “live your best life”………But STOP PRETENDING and speak up!
Very much so.
We are allowing the worst aspects of our inhabitants to be the most prominent. First, any society that permits and encouraging the abortion of its next generation wants its society to die. Second, any society that permits behaviors that ought to be private to spill over into public space (e.g., “Pride” parades pretending to be child-friendly events) doesn’t care about the well-being of children and creates a next generation that will do far worse than its birth-givers (should we even designate parents who bring children to see men acting out their fetishes on the streets “parents”?). Third, the schools that are required by state law make the kids more ignorant after 12 years than when they started by teaching lies about our country, race, and sex. Closing schools because of the fears of the teachers during COVID showed the worthlessness of much of this system.
Come, Lord Jesus! A huge comeuppance is our lot barring serious repentance and revival.
Yes.
🙁
Yes! Well not us, but our illegitimate government, who stole the 2020 election, are pure evil!
War to cover, war to cover all the imbecilic ineptitude and elitist worship of the communist ideal.
How (expletive, expletive, expletive) ironic is it that the tables have turned and the USA is pushing communism while Russia just wants to be left alone.
The only ones who profit are the central banks who will be sipping champagne cocktails on their islands while the world burns.
This isn’t the first time Putin has warned of an action like this, Monti.
His Job-like patience must be wearing very thin.
Our problem is stupidity on the part of a large and increasing part of our population Betsy. A falling away from Christ and morals and a twisted demonic turn to the drive for wealth at all costs.
Idiots at the wheel and bedlam in the passenger compartment and I as a passenger just want off the damned bus.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer had something to say about that, too. Stupidity and ignorance, which none seem to be the least bit embarrassed by. Something which hit me very hard after returning to the country of my birth after twenty years away.
As much as I’d like to disagree with you, dear friend, I cannot…
Evil has led us down a hideous path. We can no longer call ourselves a “moral nation”. Nor do I want to hear any politician ever again use the term ” our values “.
Their “values” are not mine which I hold dear.
Bonhoeffer on stupidity. This is excellent.
https://nsjonline.com/article/2021/12/bonhoeffer-on-stupidity/
As Sundance says liberals must pretend not to know things.
Reality is liberals choose not to know things.
I agree with you both but would add that this has been a long, planned degradation.
Communist takeover of the Government Indoctrination Centers that replaced the Schoolhouse.
Thanks Jimmaahh Caaater for that one.
Nor do I ever again wantbto hear “thats not who we are”, as thats in the same vein as talking about “our values” as if we really were the last, best hope for humanity, the beacon of light that always opposed oppression and championed freedom and personal liberty.
You know over 50% of the victims of Cons , by ‘con artists’ never report the crime.
Because when they realise they have been conned, they feel GUILTY, as if THEY bear some responsibility for ‘allowing’ themselves to be conned.
And I suspect that is some part of what WE all are feeling, blaming ourselves for ‘falling for it’.
I submit while thats a very human responce, its wrong; these Con artist psychopath suns-a-britches INTENTIONALLY and with much planning (they LOVE plans!), forethought, co-ordination and collusion set us up to be conned, and we naively trusted them.
Taking responsibility ourselves in some way is letting them off the hook, don’t fall into that trap.
That’s the other noxious phrase, dutch.
And in this case it really does does depend exactly who is meant by “we”.
The “We” they speak of is who they are and speak of, falsely as usual and with straight faces. Because there is no acknowledgment of others. Just poisonous self regard.
The most execrable part is that everything which these repellent creatures in power do they do without our permission but frame it always as if we have given them license.
Do I feel guilty because they and they alone are instigators and purveyors of hideous evil throughout the world?
No…I do not.
Only waves of sickening anger at the rotted, deadly fruits of their malevolent intent.
A very great and righteous man.
If we get into it with Russia, there won’t be any banksters left living.

I think Putin is a rational man. He doesn’t have any interest in starting WW3, because that means nukes, and only an insane person would risk that. He sees exactly what we see, and he knows who is responsible for the chaos the American government has created. I think he is biding his time and hoping that President Trump is reelected, and rationality is restored to American foreign policy.
However, if Trump is not reelected, and the Obama-communists remain in charge, then I think we could see targeted operations against the DC war mongers. Putin is clued in to the attitudes of the American electorate, maybe even more than the Uniparty, and he knows that a lot more than half of the country despises the DC swamp scum, sees them as the enemy, and wants them eliminated. In that situation, if he acted on that, I don’t think you’d see many complaints among the majority of the populace, although the media would howl.
In the latter scenario, I would cheer.

And with precision guided hypersonic, doesn’t have to be nukes.
I, for one, had been shocked that the tactical nukes that are being bandied about are in the 30kt+ range…I always thought they’d be closer to 1 – 5 kt.
But yes, conventional munitions would work just fine.
The “media” won’t survive those surgical strikes….either by President Putin, or Patriots.
Not good.
Yes we are ….the us govt is a completely separate entity from the US people
Surely Putin knows this and hopefully Trump has telegraphed through back channels that we won’t do that when he’s back in office.
But Russia has to deal with the idiots running this Country, not the citizens.
Yes, the death wish cult. The ones who want to expedite our own demise. It’s been said that WWIII will be brought to you by the same a÷=/_<>× that got us into a war wi5h a bunch of 12th century goat herders. Now they want war with a nuclear armed Russia.
Brilliant….Cuba missle crisis Rev. B
Very true. I recall President Trump in a recent interview being asked a question about the war in Ukraine. His response was, “Stop the killing.” It was a beautiful day. Will always love this man.
We always have our prayers. No one can take them away from us. After reading all of the truths here at this site, I pray in the Holy Name of Jesus: “God our Father, please confound them and confuse them.”
I totally disagree with you Bob.
Our government is a representative government.
That means we the people get what we vote for, of shall I say more accurately, allow.
You cannot separate the brain from the body anymore than you can the people from the government it allows to rule them.
Well….when one votes “democrat”, they don’t expect to have bat-$hit crazy commies/fascists running things.
Which is what we have today…..and yesterday, etc.
Representative government sounds good, but that’s not what we really have.
It’s what we’re supposed to have.
Crooked elections and communism/marxism etc, are not representative government.
When your enemies tell you who they are and what they intend believe them. Since the betrayal of the Minsk agreements Putin believes. At some point Putin will feel the need to act against the American Empire for self preservation. Russia will be pushed until it decides strategic surprise is necessary. It will be instant unrestricted nuclear , biological , and chemical war.
Fundamental change is your enemy not Russia.
‘Not smart to play kick the cobra…
When we weaken ourselves so terribly, any adversary would not need to do very much to topple the house of cards.
The sleeper cells to do so * might * have jumped the border during the past 3 1/2 years. Just sitting in place awaiting a signal, and collecting welfare. Ol’ Vlad may have a simple time of it. Thanks to our psychopathic globalist overlords.
I saw a video of two porch pirates duking it out over a porch package and who would ultimately get it. Perhaps with all the sleeper cells of so many international interests, they will attach each other for rights to destroy us.
That’s me. Looking for a shiny lining in a pretty ominous cloud.
Poking Russia in the eye… Anything to distract from the disaster they are making of the USA especially the dollar. The soul crushing inflation is coming. “Interest” on the debt is more than the (on the books) DOD budget.
Welcome to nukes in Cuba. There are not enough testicles currently in DC for that showdown
When I read we withdrew from the treaty in 2019, I searched CTH to see POTUS 45!s thought process. Thank you for access to your archives Sundance.

No problem. That’s what they are there for. 🙂
QUOTE:
”According to the administration Russia has been violating the terms of the INF treaty with the development of a mobile ground launched intermediate-range nuclear missile system capable of striking targets in Europe. Russia has denied the claim and National Security Advisor John Bolton will be in Russia on Monday to discuss the issue.”
.
Hmmmm.
Who was giving PDJT this information, and was it reliable??
For a certainty PDJT was NOT getting good info/advice re: COVID, to say nothing of other issues…like believing he could be prosecuted for “obstruction of justice” while acting in his official capacity as POTUS.
.
Trump was lied to just like everything else “they” lied to him about.
Absolutely
So….
Gen. Flynn was “taken out” as NSA and replaced with John Bolton, the neocon??
And Trump was subsequently “advised” to withdraw from “The INF treaty, negotiated by then-President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and ratified by the U.S. Senate in 1988…”, because the IC told him Russia was violating the terms of said treaty??
Sounds about right.
Flynn was gone in early 17.
Bolton in.
Look at what Pompeo and Milley did in Syria. They refused to remove troops after being ordered by Trump and then hid and lied about it.
Why wouldn’t Bolton and the CIA lie about it.
Don’t they lie about everything else?
Pompeo has moved steadily up on my sh*t list, with the passage of time.
He is a criminal.
Might have been a small element of truth in it. I am seriously wondering if Russia actually was doing something like this in response to other parties in the West violating treaties themselves.
Dunno, maybe Russian intel got wind of biological weapons research or other. Nukes are not the only weapons of mass destruction.
The Russians didn’t make the US cancel the Treaty.
The US did that on their own unilaterally.
Putin never bluffs, and he has succeeded in bringing Russia back from the abyss it faced in the early 90’s. This country, on the other hand, is headed for darker times. Even with a second Trump term, it will be too little, too late. At least we can thank Russia for exposing the folly of NATO and the Western countries, and for that the world should be grateful.
I’m guessing it won’t be exactly tit for tat…
Russia not likely to be deploying ‘developmental’ hypersonics weapons, but actual ‘operational’ ones…
Not sure what’s involved, but there could be lots of new technology enabled:
(a) hypersonic long-range missiles coming our way
(b) maybe any missiles fired at the West will have GPS ability to be guided (driven) into their target.
(c) They’re sure to use some 1st-strike dummies to ‘scare up’/locate working defense systems.
(d) Iran (&Russia) I think have had success with drones capable of rapid evasive maneuvers.
(e) Many surface ships, tanks & other high-price assets might be sitting ducks.
Don’t know if We have the same tech- I guess that’s classified info.
The Brits might have successful laser weapons testing, if their labs aren’t overrun with DEI hires…
Seems other ‘directed-energy weapons’ need to do more than burn down friendly coastal cities.

….and they think that NZ isn’t a target.
Likely, there’s a 10-15 warhead missile pointed right at them. Probably warheads in the 1 mT range too.

“Vladimir Putin is not bluffing.”
.
Those who have committed high crimes and treason against the American people would readily instigate WWIII to hide their crimes and manipulations in the ashes.
And their army of “useful idiots” is diminishing more and more rapidly.
Troubling.
TPTB behind our Fourth Branch IC are the ones pushing this. This is multi year development program that was planned before and is being executed while the current Administration is in power to be used later to bring mutual destruction to the most powerful elements of Christendom.
China is way more of a threat and yet it is still Russia, Russia, Russia.
Both sides are being played by actors in the background.
Biden is an utter fool who has done absolutely nothing for peace in Ukraine.
His handlers don’t want peace in Ukraine.
Nothing like WW3 to assist in the WEF/One World Gov’t. depopulation efforts.
All you have to do is disrupt suppy chains. We saw that in groceries during Covid I. War will certainly do that, and in our “just in time” civilization, that will be game over for the vast majority: 90% at least.
Oddly, all polls indicate that 90% of people surveyed thought they’d survive such a calamity.
Both the US and Russia already have many times the number of nuclear weapons as needed to destroy each other about 10 times over.
I wonder if their ICBM’s are as operational as ours. Seem to recall someone saying that ~75 % on our systems were not operational.
Given the history of our government over the last 35 years or so, it wouldn’t surprise me if all our systems were non-operational. There is no limit to the lies they will tell in defense of ever higher defense spending/laundering of money. On the other hand, I think Russia takes national defense deadly seriously, and I have more confidence that their arsenal is fully operational than I have confidence that ours is even partially operational.
I believe PDJT DID order a complete modernisation of our Nuclear defence systems, although I can’t site a source,…
Would that kinda be like ‘Get our forces out of Syria’?
The US/NATO neocons will get us all killed if they are not stopped. All these people know how to do is double down on the stupidity. It never crosses their minds that they are in over their head and should by now be seeking an offramp.
At one time we had leaders who at least understood that nuclear war was to be avoided at all cost and went about not openly provoking Russia. The Cold War had rules that were followed by both sides. Today we have evil children and incompetents as leaders.
In the meantime 2000 Ukrainians and some Russians die every day in a war that never should have happened. The truth is Vladimir Putin is the adult in the room. He is our best chance to avoid the horror of a nuclear exchange at this moment.
I have to say I don’t blame Putin for making that statement.
The move is meant to show the U.S.’s commitment to NATO and its European allies.
Don’t we pay way more than our fair share to support NATO? Is that not proof of commitment?
That’s because they have a country to save, the mentality is “All or nothing”. I wouldn’t expect anything different from the people of Russia of the to present.
This won’t be a 3% revolution. The warmongers in our country think that Russia is bluffing, they are not! Our country has lost its way, confidence in western governments is virtually zero.
I respect President Trump immensely and will vote a 3rd time for him but we need to honestly ask ourselves…. Will the BRICS++ Nations truly trust us again after many years of building up this multipolar world? It’s no different from a personal relationship, the wife or husband knows the relationship has ended before the other one has a clue.
That’s where we are at, no clue.
“of the past to the present”.
I picked a bad day to stop drinking, hahaha…

God has anointed and appointed PDJT – as shown recently by the saving of his life with that little turn of the head…by the difference of one .34th of a second of time, I’ve read.
For what – if all is lost? America is where it needs to be in and for God’s plans.
Don’t count out our ‘One Nation Under God’. Pray to the Father above for what you want for our country.
He knows the guilty ones responsible for the mess we’re in. He also knows His children and who are the innocent.
He wants His Body to turn and come closer to Him, as well as others to find Him, who are searching for Him.
He wants His billion-soul harvest, and to have more come to Him for saving and to find the peace only He can bring.
Pray for His movement across our land – and the world. He is the only one Who is able to save us and make all right.
To God be the Glory – and to God will BE the Glory… When all is said and done!
The DS here in the US has also been doing psychological preps.
The anti-Russian psychosis is widespread. Putin is “evil!evil!evil!”
Don’t even question it.
Somehow, they have also gotten the message that Putin has declared his Christian faith. In the blue mind, the only Russian who counts is Vladimir Putin. Freeze the target, make it toxic, you know. . . The Alinsky rule.
I have no idea that he actually has professed Christ as his savior – to the best of my memory, he danced around that question during the Tucker Carlson interview.
So, why do the DS Narrative script writers want to unite the concepts of “Christian” and “Putin” in the sheeple mind?
Hmmmm
🤔
Same reasons behind why they would slander white Christian males as domestic violent extremists and threats to “democracy”.
Cannot have people getting ideas of replacing the leadership. Need a boogeyman of some sort, even a transparently fake one to unify against to take the attention off themselves.
Dehumanization is but one step on the way to the democide of millions. These globalists aim to rule unchallenged, lest we forget.
“The anti-Russian psychosis is widespread. Putin is “evil!evil!evil!””
We all know him as portrayed by the MSM and the most evil dictator since
Hitler, but here is some food for thought for those open-minded enough
even to take a look:

Thank you for that link. As a Serbian Orthodox Christian I have always believed President Putin to be my brother in Christ. Have seen many videos, articles where Putin was in Church always lighting candles, crossing himself three times as per our Orthodox doctrine. I believe it was not an act, but his true belief in the Father, Son, Holy Spirit. May God Bless him, give him wisdom and strength. Praying and standing with Putin.
Your welcome.
It was emailed to me last week by a retired [Christian] Philosophy professor of the St. Thomas Aquinas persuasion.
1 Timothy 2:1-5 KJV
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; [2] For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
[3] For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; [4] Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
[5] For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
To take over Russia, the West would have to kill every single one of them, that includes women and children. The people of the West lack the courage it will take to defeat Russia. The USA had their best chance to control Russia right after WWII, but they killed Patton instead.
FACTS:
Total size of US military in 1939 was 183,000.
Total size of US military on V-E day 1945 was 13,500,000.
That is a 66x increase.
Imagine if you were a supplier to the US DoD in 1939.
What happened to the size of your business in just 5 years?
Had the allies gone to Moscow and taken out Stalin and the communist party, as Patton wanted to…arguing that “now” was the time to do it….what kind of gov’t would the allied powers have stood up in it’s place? A representative democracy?
If THAT had happened, would there have been a need for NATO?
Would there have been a “Cold War”?
Would there have been an “Arms Race”?
Here is the $trillion$ dollar question:
What would have happened to the US military budget….and by extension the entire universe of defense contractors??
.
Hint: Patton was assassinated, as he was a EXTREMELY POPULAR household name in the US…and a Republican. A direct threat to the Truman administration.
.
WHENEVER THEY TELL YOU IT’S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY, YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY BE 100% CERTAIN IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY.
And as it was then, so it is today.
There are trillions at stake.
Note:
Funny how the US has always left an adversary “alive” in the field following a conflict, ever since WWII. Always making the military fight with one-hand tied behinds it’s back (ie. “rules of engagement”).
See: Taliban in Afghanistan
The US DoD (read: defense contractors) NEEDS a bogeyman to scare the US public with in order to “justify” those bloated defense budgets.
We sure conduct a lot of military offense operations. So why do we call it a ‘defense’ budget?
We should also go back to the original name of the organization: the War Department.
Actually, I have been thinking that that name is best suited for renaming the Department of State.
Used to be called, The Department of War.
Then they changed it. Now it’s called, The Department of Defense.
Lies and more lies!
Should be Department of Offense.
Patton died from injuries suffered in a low speed car- truck accident. Patton suffered more than a few head injuries in his lifetime and it compounded his head injury in that accident.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_S._Patton#Accident_and_death
https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/general-george-s-patton-jr-death
“Patton died from injuries suffered in a low speed car- truck accident.”
Yep. That’s the official line.
But think about what you said. “low speed accident”, huh?
Kinda like “lone gunman” getting off three (3) incredibly accurate shots in 5-6 seconds at a moving target with a bolt-action rifle, a feat which even highly experienced military snipers have been unable to replicate in the decades since JFK was murdered.
Btw, way to ignore all those questions, and I ADORE you quoting the highly reliable Wikipedia at me! LOL
Burn it down, Putin. we need to rebuild from the ground up anyway. Win win.
Would be much left to build from….what is the half life of U- 235?
Better change locations , I would recommend some place in the southern hemisphere.
Can’t hide from the fallout, “On the Beach”.
Russia is in Cuba now. Their missiles don’t have to go far.
Russia maintained ties with Cuba
even during the Cold War.
May 9, 2024
Cuban President concluded his working visit to Russia. | CUBADIPLOMATICA
☝️ ☝️ ☝️ ☝️
“During his speech, Diaz-Canal said he was in Russia just
as the moment when the 64th anniversary of the reestablishment
of relations between Cuba and the Soviet Union is being celebrated “
Here we are, decades after the fall of the Soviet Union and dissolution of the Warsaw pact.
NATO is well past being relevant. Let Europe step up and take care of their security using their own resources. NATO without America behind it is not in a position to be as belligerent with Russia and the world would be better for it.
Very true!
“U.S. will deploy the arms in Germany starting in 2026”
Trump won’t allow that
“Russia has psychologically prepared the citizens of the country for war against the West, if that is what’s needed.”
The United States does not have enough “safe spaces” for those delicate twinkies that take offense when they are not referred to by their desired pronoun(s).*
The last time we had a widespread really hard time here was during and after the war of Northern Aggression.
The vast majority of the populace here barely have enough necessities to last week or two. If they thought shortages were terrible during “virus”, they have no clue to what war would do.
I have read that up to 90% of people here would be dead in a year -IF there was a widespread and prolonged loss of electricity.
* – IMO they should have their “preferred pronouns” tattooed on their foreheads, so there are no mistakes.
Your so called war of Northern Aggression was a war to free human beings who were living lives in slavery. I guess that isn’t as romantic as thinking yourself a dashing rebel but it is the truth.
Things aren’t bad enough that you feel compelled to bring up a trashy subject like this? Don’t we have enough problems?
That could be debated.
Some say, all wars are about aquisition of natural resources and control of their trade. Everything else is smoke.
God will right this. That I am sure. How we fare is TBD. Keep praying fellow Treepers! 🙏🏽
Lest we forget, the lies accusing PDJT would start WWIII. As with everything these evil, deceitful people say, it has always been and will always be THEM who are our enemies and are guilty of the accusations they make.
As I understand it, the Cuban missile crisis was provoked by the US doing the same thing….putting missiles in Europe too close to USSR. … but we weren’t told that at the time.
Yes, Turkey.
How ironic will it be to have Russia completely destroy Washington DC as God’s answer to prayers to Him from the righteous to eliminate the overwhelming evil in that wicked city controlled by Satan’s worst demons?
Ironic and justified, and it’s amazing to me that I’ve reached the point of realizing that’s true.
I have two kids and their families living there,,,,I would lose them for sure, something I have had to come to terms with,,,one of them works for DoD ,,,,oops, said too much
I think Putin should do whatever he wants to do.
It is difficult to intellectually fathom how a nation and its’ economy can exist solely on lies, war and chaos?
But if you choose to believe FJB, the USA is not at war?
This strategy to dominate everywhere is unlikely to end peacefully. The Russians, Chinese and Indians all realize that they are targets.
Ukraine v. Russia is a proxy war which benefits the Bidens, which is probably why the lackluster Western press ignores the obvious.
Nobody has the guts to trace those $millions of Act Blue donations… likely back to Ukraine.
DJT the greatest hope for world peace in our time. The deep state/war machine missed thank God. World peace is hinging on the US election not being rigged and stolen again.Please be careful Mr President.
World peace is hinging on our ‘One Nation Under God’ being saved by Him – pray for that to be His plan.
No person – or persons, are able to save the USA or the world without His Supernatural intervention.
Pray and ask for that Miracle of His intervention.
The current extremely weak leadership, in both this administration and in europe, is not in a position to threaten anyone. Trying to intimidate Russia, only puts the citizens of this and other countries, in danger.
Unfortunately, it seems Trump thinks the US is the indispensable nation.
Why is that unfortunate? Whatever you may think about American misadventures abroad, our Constitutional system is still seen as the ideal in the world, if not by the Commie governments that are proliferating, then by the actual people of the world. We don’t see a lot of it in this country, but the fact is that the vast majority of planet Earth PRAYS that President Trump will be reelected, and order is restored to the United States. Why do you think it’s a bad thing for the U.S. to be seen as the “indispensable” nation?
‘One Nation Under God’ – we are the hope for the world…
In God’s Book we are second only to Israel…
If you have doubts about that, get out the Bible and see what He says in it!
Pray for His help for us and His Chosen people.
So all bets are off then?
He will deploy in Cuba. Just great.
Probably already has.
The show of warships etc. is just a show….weapons have been there for a while now.
The idiots of the Western government-military-industrial-muddle just love to push and push and push. Then they are caught by surprise whenever someone finally pushes back. Those arrogant idiots are why the Ukraine war happened. They are why so many wars happen.
Somewhere Lindsay Graham is overjoyed at the prospect of getting his nuclear war before he leaves this earth for warmer destinations.
When Trump says he’ll prevent WW3, this is part of what he’s talking about. He knows that Putin doesn’t want it anymore than we do, but he knows that our current “leaders” will do everything in their power to push Putin in that direction. It’ll take Trump and Putin working TOGETHER to bring the world back from the brink.
— Sting
Dang, NATO isn’t even about defense anymore.
Its the official military wing of the global
thugocracy.
If our domestics go hot before Europe, we will see
the blue helmets in the USA, for sure.
Steal another election….
yeah, gonna be some NATO operations in the CONUS
Talk about perfect example of mission creep.
Creepy mission
Can anybody blame Putin for the retaliation with the lunatic Bolsheviks running the White House. They want Orthodox Christian Russia reverting back to Communism! Total Insanity!
The entire Biden administration, all its tentacles, the media, and the neocon money launderers in Congress have betrayed the American people and our national security by their lack of diplomacy and their foreign policy: the use of force, grants of money, intimidation, 850 military bases, and unrelenting interference with the sovereignty of other countries. All paid for with tax payer money for the benefit of multinational corporate and central bank profits.
The Biden administration et al betrayed their own allies for profit – for example, the Nordstream Pipeline destruction for the benefit of US sales of LNG to Europe. They betrayed their allies in Ukraine with the deaths of hundreds of thousands, the destruction in the billions, while siphoning off billions in taxpayer money, money printing (causing inflation paid for by ordinary Americans), and increasing billions in debt.
They incessantly drum hatred and lies to the people of this country, drumming the next war on the horizon.
I am praying a lot about this election ahead. Not only for the election of our dear President Trump, but also that God guides his choices of his cabinet and advisors, that they are wise and shrewd, that they are intelligent diplomats on every front. That our country will establish peace and security for our country with the world.
Because a future war against any equal adversary will come to us. The United States is no longer an inviolable island.
Belle,
Well said.👏👏
”Because a future war against any equal adversary
will come to us.”
It will not be just our Troops who will be
suffering casualties, but all of us.
Women, children, elderly and disabled.
All of us.
I pray more now more than any other
time in my life.🙏🙏🙏🙏
And no country in the world will have pity on us. Because it is exactly what our wars, our weapons have done – women, children, elderly, and disabled. Blood on our hands.
Amen! I and many others have seen the horror done to the former Yugoslavia as well as Serbia. Many innocent civilians, our Churches destroyed by the West. Praying for Peace. God Bless us.
Blood is on the one world order’s hands. This whole WWIII is not about USA or Russia – or O’biden & any other politician’s grasp for money or power.
Money and power is just the worshipped tool the REAL powers-that-be used to work the strings on their puppets.
The true movers and shakers are out of sight – beyond most peoples’ ability to imagine.
It’s over WEF and Yuval Noah Harari even. They’re just two evil toady puppets controlled on their strings also.
God will not fail us – this is not the one-world orders time.
Trust is needed in Him -walk by faith, not by sight. He’s got this.
Pray for what you want Him to do.
Will God hear my prayers if I am not a righteous person?
Today, I read an old article written by the great Eric Hoffer.
Eric Hoffer : “Israel’s Lonely Position” May 26, 1968
The Jews are a peculiar people. Things permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews.
Other nations drive out thousands, even millions of people and there is no refugee problem. Russia did it; Poland and Czechoslovakia did it; Turkey drove out a million Greeks, and Algeria a million Frenchmen; Indonesia threw out heaven knows how many Chinese – and no one says a word about refugees.
But in the case of Israel, the displaced Arabs have become eternal refugees. Everyone insists that Israel must take back every single Arab. Arnold Toynbee calls the displacement of the Arabs an atrocity greater than any committed by the Nazis. (Toynbee was a socialist).
Other nations when victorious on the battlefield dictate peace terms. But when Israel is victorious it must sue for peace. Everyone expects the Jews to be the only real Christians in this world.
Other nations when they are defeated survive and recover. But should Israel be defeated it would be destroyed. Had Nasser (Palestinian Communist party leader) triumphed last June he would have wiped Israel off the map, and no one would have lifted a finger to save the Jews.
No commitment to the Jews by any government, including our own, is worth the paper it is written on. There is a cry of outrage all over the world when people die in Vietnam or when two Negroes are executed in Rhodesia, But when Hitler slaughtered Jews no one remonstrated with him.
The Swedes, who are ready to break off diplomatic relations with America because of what we do in Vietnam, did not let out a peep when Hitler was slaughtering Jews. They sent Hitler choice iron ore, and ball bearings, and serviced his troop trains to Norway.
The Jews are alone in the world. If Israel survives, it will be solely because of Jewish efforts. And Jewish resources.
Yet at this moment Israel is our only reliable and unconditional ally. We can rely more on Israel that Israel can rely on us. And one has only to imagine what would have happened last summer had the Arabs and their Russian backers won the war to realize how vital the survival of Israel is to America and the West in general.
I have a premonition that will not leave me; as it goes with Israel so will it go with all of us. Should Israel perish the holocaust will be upon us.
Israel must live!
💁 🤷♀️ 🤷♀️
Off topic.
Way off topic.🙃🙃🙃😳
Maybe try the Open thread?
That’s not at all true in relation to Recordtimes’ comment. Where on earth do you pull that from?
Israel is right in the middle of the contention going on in world-wide turmoil.
Russia-Ukraine war is but one drop in the bucket.
There are plenty of other drops that are concerns regarding WWIII.
“The Jews are alone in the world.” That’s so wrong…
The Jewish people have the power of Almighty God behind and over them!
How do you imagine they’ve lived and actually thrived – through all of history?
There are many Jewish people, I’m sure, who are not on the LORD’S list of favored people and that He no longer counts as His ‘people’ – but aren’t we all living according to His mercy, forgiveness and favor?
God will save His Nation Israel… And our ‘One Nation Under God’.
Count on it, pray for it – and wait and see.
Trust God – fear not!
Russian war ships arrived for the second time in a month to Cuba. China has a huge port in the Bahamas. Just waiting for Club K.
And electeds sit in DC puffed up like they are all that.
I don’t have a lot of faith the American people will wake up to the “Big Scam”- after all their tribes – the ones they would fight for- start playing in the stadiums soon.
With Joe Biden “dead in the head” …
Who is really making these decisions!
I thank God that President Putin is much more rational ..
than any current USA Politicians …
Europe doesn’t count as IMO they’re just Muppets (childish puppets)!
Biden, Blinken, Sullivan, Austin – IDIOTS
Obama, Jarrett, Rice, Neuland, Monaco — PUPPETMASTERS
When the Soviet Union fell, childless cat lady Condi Rice thought it’d be a great idea to expand NATO and do everything possible to provoke Russia. That this strategy has proven foolish is of no concern to her-she has no stake in the future of this country. No way should people like her be in any kind of consequential decisionmaking positions.
You’re looking at our future conquerors. God has led us by the nose into this trap due to our fundamentally unserious populace. That disorder is about to be corrected by one who IS serious and clear minded.
We cannot win that exchange. We don’t have the purpose in us. “Saving Democracy” isn’t enough.
God did not lead us by the nose.
We made PISS-POOR choices and have turned away from God!!!
Get US out of NATO. If that happened the NATO grift would collapse.
And that would be GREAT!
And that might just be the trump card that President Trump has to play.
If “europe” doesn’t want to play by peace rules….imagine the squawking when he says ‘OK…ALL of our troops and equipment leaves “europe” now’.
